Child Luring Incident Thwarted In Bedford Hills Monday

BEDFORD HILLS, NY —There was a report of a possible luring of a child Monday in Bedford. Dr. Christopher Manno, the Bedford school district superintendent, sent a message out to the community that a Bedford Hills Elementary School student said, while walking home from school, a light color vehicle being driven by a white male stopped and asked him to get into his car.

The driver allegedly said he had candy in the car.

Police said the student did not engage with the man and immediately walked home.

The student reported the incident to his parent who notified the Bedford police.

Manno said the police are investigating the matter, and the school district is cooperating with the police.

Included in the email was a link for parents to read and to talk to their children about regarding preventing abductions.
